Hi Guys,
I wasnt entirely sure where to start this topic. but here we go...
I have the Alexdnr 6 ROM, which has been great for a few years now, setup with Magisk in the ROM, the usual. I see Magisk mentions updates, etc. Question is, does the latest Magisk 23(?) apply to the S5 G900F? This particular ROM? Assuming the update is applicable, worth doing?
Been reading some threads, but nothing concrete enough to make me give it a try.
Thanks all for any info or suggestions

Wow, I guess the S5 forums really have slowed down! lol...

Yes, I think most S5 users have moved on...sadly. Still some great builds happening though. I'm currently using Lineage 18.1 with microG. Flawless. My other favorite builds are e rom (ungoogled)

Yes, the update works, if that what you're asking. It's up to you to decide if it's worth updating or not. Perhaps check out the Magisk changelogs?
Thanks guys, I appreciate it I may end up getting an S10+ in the near future... so I guess I better start reading that forum, heh.

not installed but downloaded
My phone downloaded it but encounter error installing and didn't actually perform the install. My s6 is rooted though. Anyone rooted get same issue? I'm personally waiting for a cynagen mod, so I could care less for samsungs updates

Yes, and that is to be expected, since root trips the custom flag.
I hope I'm wrong, but I suspect you'll be waiting a looong time for CM on the S6, given the exynos processor and locked Bootloader (on our ATT version).

I can wait. With removing a lot of bloat and junk crap my phone is much faster. I notice free ram is a lot more. Faster boots without having to auto start all the junk. I'm good for now.
Just the post I was looking for. Downloading the 235.96 MB update right now.
Lol CM? They cant even perfect or at least provide decent ROM for their 1+1 and Yureka phone what more on the latest hardware. By the way I own the 1+1 and its buggy even the official releases. Im not saying Sammy software isnt buggy its jusT CM is worst.

Hey there guys. I was hoping to get some help. I have been searching around online and on YouTube but I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I have the g935v Verizon variant of the s7 edge. It's on 6.0.1 and latest software updates through verizon.
I just received it and it looks like I missed the boat because Samsung pulled the beta program for nougat but I was hoping to come across something to get that final beta installed on my phone. I don't have a PC, but I have a Mac Pro. Does anybody know how to get the most recent nougat build installed on my phone using either just the phone itself or my Mac computer? I would be eternally grateful.
wait...... when samsung release OTA....(No more than 3 week......)
also ..... there is ROMs development...
Last I heard it would be December and that's come and gone. I don't want to sit around and wait if I don't have to.
Anyone else?

No idea dude. I've got King Nougat v6 flashed and honestly this rom is on point.
Tried every rom on here and this one has no issues. Best bet until all the official files are floating around everywhere.
Save you some time digging around looking for what you need. I spent too long last night doing just that :laugh:

Ok cool. Forgive my noobness but it's been a few years since I've rooted and flashed a rom. Do you have a link on how to do it on a Mac?

No problem man.
And here I am on the hunt again to see if it's been officially released...
All the other devices get all the love
I'm not a developer but would love to be able to install a 6.0.1 rom onto my S8. Maybe a custom rom could be made, or is there a way of downgrading the firmware?
Maybe I'm being backwards but I love Xposed so much I have given my S8+ to my partner until I can get Xposed working on it. Don't know how much longer I can cope with the s7e
Many thanks in advance
That's not possible. Well it might be possible but it's gonna take a lot. Samsung maybe released Nougat sources for the s8.Your best bet is to hope xposed comes to Nougat. I am also a S8 user and wishing I got xposed with all my favourite mods working.

Would it not be possible to take an s7 marshmallow build, and drop it into an s8 rom, basically replacing everything except the camera (there is a port of this already) and the kernel.
EDIT: we'd want to dl a tool to change the dpi(plenty on the play store).
Maybe if you could get aosp on the s8 and build android 6 for it, but it'll be a while before aosp is available, by then xposed will be available anyway.

amplify and a couple of others.
Marshmallow and lollipop were both horrible! No matter what modules were used. I don't miss using xposed one bit the newer android is taking care of a lot of the problems that xposed was needed for on those versions of android
I have been using Galaxy J5 Prime for a long time and it is still fast and capable device. But after updating the 7.0.1 I was unable to revert back to 6.0 It was one of the biggest mistakes I have ever done with this phone. Ever since then I have been trying to figure out a way to solve this but unfortunately I can't. I really really want to use AOSP It doesn't even have to be ,I am sure there are many people who feel the same thing. I have 7.0.1 Nougat update installed and can't go back to any older versions. Please support this so maybe we can fasten the process.

Man you can easily go back to marshmallow that's why he is saying its a joke. Everything you posted is not true.
Download the firmware from sammobile and flash using Odin. That's it

odin is not recognizing my smartphone and I am also saying that this device might be being abandoned by developers who might not even be interested in compiling a resurrection remix rom or lineageOS among many other AOSP
I was on nougat until the other night i believe my dog stepped on the update button because it comes up all the time and i usually ignore it. I want to get back to nougat(phone is unuseable on oreo)and root so this never happens again. I just paid it off also. Please give me a hand.
Edit:bootloader v3
Nope it's patched might as well use pie beta now
No root and no downgrade. Have to get another rev 2 since if you want root again or wait to see if it ever becomes available on rev or higher
Sucks so bad. Ive held off that update since i bought it and woke up in the morning to 8.0. Just paid it off also. Now its not even worth that much. Definitely my last flagship and last Samsung.
The guys from one of the safestrap root threads are saying I can get back to nougat as long as I am not past v5 bootloader. Have you heard anything about this?

If you are a regular s8 no. The combination file is a nougat system but is not functional as a everyday driver. This device prevents downgrading so yes technically if you flash the combination. It is a 7.0 base but no apps full of bugs. Heat. Crappy battery. No play store no nothing. Combination files are Samsung test imgs again not usable systems. So whoever is telling you this they can tell me too cause unless they said the same as this they are rolling off crap.
If you own a s8+ you posted in the wrong section and yes you can flash the rooted system. Or whatever they use til at least rev 3 bootloader.
Yes I was in the wrong forum. Thanks for the info. I used chat alot with ya on the telegram s8+ channel. Did you ever root yours? What allows the S8+ to be able to go back to nougat using the safestrap/samfail method? I was under the impression the phones were very similar hardware/software wise. Im just happy I can go back to nougat. I hate oreo.

Yeah my s8 had been rooted since like day 5 of having it. They either skipped or just messed up on patching the +. Past to me shows they don't patch the best model. I've seen it with several lgs. Samsung's. The plus models always get more attention.
Yeah I gave up that group, the management and I didn't see eye to eye. Now I run my own ????
Can you pm me your telegram? I'd love to be a part of one again. Thanks again for all your replies.
